Dennis Diekmeier Turns Full-Time Caregiver as Daughter Delani Undergoes New Cancer Checks

The ex-HSV captain pauses post-playing work to support his 14-year-old after standard therapies failed to shrink lung metastases.

Overview

  • Doctors removed an adrenal-gland tumor early this year, then found metastases in both lungs.
  • Two rounds of chemotherapy and a first immunotherapy brought no response, prompting a shift to new physicians and experimental options.
  • Delani is in Würzburg for further examinations with her mother as the family funds care through donations and invests in an experimental drug.
  • Support has come from clubs and celebrities, including a recent video message from Jürgen Klopp.
  • The family is managing week by week through severe side effects and fresh strain after both dogs were poisoned and one Dalmatian died.
